Members Of the General Passen-
ger and Ticket Agents Arrive in
st. Paul.
The semi-annual convention of the
national association of general paSSen-
ger agents will commence for n two
days session in the ladies' ordinary at
the Ryan to-day at la. M. Over 200
passenger agents arrived in the city
from Chicago last night. About ninety
came i'll at 9:30 over the Chicago
Il Northwestern and the Omaha roads,
and the balance arrived at II 80 over
the Chicago, Burlington u Quincy and
connections. j. f. Mccullough and III.
c. Hope, of the Omaha, w. ii. Dixon, of
the Milwaukee d st. Paul, and w. l..
Wyands, of the Michigan Central, went
to meet the former batch, and G. s.
zard and F. V. Doty, of the
Minnesota & Northwestern, and F.
ii. Arson, of the Wisconsin Central,
met the latter. The first to arrive were
very much elated at the speed the
Omaha made. The run was, made i'll
eleven hours, Notwithstanding delay
of tWenty-Seven minutes at MERRIAM
junction and the Westminster street
bridge. On the way from Elmo fifteen
miles were made in fifteen minutes,
some miles being in fifty-five and fifty
seven seconds, and yet Mir. Mccullough
says there was no effort to make run
to beat the record. Special trains were
provided for both parties. The Omaha
party left Chicago at 9:10, and the Bur-
lington crowd at 9:25 a. IN. yesterday
morning.
The great object of thepresent meet
ing is to discuss the report of the con-
mittee appointed for the purpose, upon
the matter of uniform styles of coupon
tickets. This committee only reported
progress at the last meeting, which
was held in Washington, ID. c., last
March. All the national association
can do, However, is to make a recon-
mendatiOn to the local associations on
the committees report. -
The National association was organ
lied in 1855, and did not cease to attend
to other than local business until about
seven years ago, when the Western
States association, Grand Trunk and
other associations. merged into it,
and it has since only dis
the decisive action to be taken by the
local associations. The actions of the
National association have since been
considered as recommendation only,
although they have become practically
laws in the railroad world.
During the TWO days stay here Chair
man Mccullough and the others
Of the entertainment committee will
endeavor to make the visit of the pas
Senger agents as pleasant as possible.
Tonight the streets will be il
Illuminated in their honor. The
